    For this great man jubilation, was evinced by the entire population
    Friendship for the u.s.a. was shown and from his house to stars and the stripes were flown
    For the state to open the gate to the president of these united states
    In fact everybody was glad to welcome roosevelt to trinidad

    We are privileged to see the democratic president of the great republic
    With his charming and genial personality and his wonderful urbanity
    We were struck by his modest style and we were intrigued by the famous roosevelt smile
    No wonder why everybody was glad to welcome roosevelt to trinidad

    Now we understand that the president has just been on a visit to brazil and the argentine
    Mr. cordell hull in attendance they took part in a peace conference
    To stop war and atrocity and make the world safe for democracy
    The greatest event in the century in the interest of suffering humanity
